The Hidden Hand that Shaped History

"Governments do not govern, but merely
control the machinery of government,

being themselves controlled by the
hidden hand." - Benjamin Disraeli

Has the course of History been directed by a small group of people with common interests? The paintings and pictures of the great men of the past centuries reveal a common thread which links them together. Is it a coincidence that many of them hid one of their hands when posing for a portrait? It seems unlikely. We’ll look at the Masonic origin of the “hidden hand” and the powerful men who used the sign in famous portraits.

Stalin and Washington – two opposing ideologies, one hand gesture

“Today’s thinking toward a democratic world state is neither a new trend nor an accidental circumstance; the work of setting up the background of knowledge necessary to the establishing of enlightened democracy among all nations has been carried on for many hundreds of years by secret societies.”-Manly P. Hall, Secret Destiny of America

Is there a hidden force behind the world events of the past centuries? Are the fall of European monarchies, the bringing forth of the Age of Enlightenment and our path towards a world democracy part of a great plan lead by a “hidden hand”? Before the advent of mass media, portraits depicting their leaders in majestic poses were the only artifacts people had. Do these portraits have an occult meaning?One of those poses is the “hiding of the hand”. I remember my history teacher trying to explain why Napoleon was often shown with a hand inside his shirt. The common explanation went along these lines:

“Many theories have been presented as to why Napoleon is traditionally depicted with his hand in his waistcoat. Some of these theories
include: he had a stomach ulcer, he was winding his watch, he had an
itchy skin disease, in his era it was impolite to put your hands in your pockets, he had breast cancer, he had a deformed hand, he kept a perfumed sachet in his vest that he’d sniff surreptitiously, and that painters don’t like to paint hands”-Tom Holmberg

Unless all the individuals discussed in this article had stomach ulcer or deformed hands, the gesture of hiding one’s hand simply has to have a specific meaning. It does. Most of the people using this sign are proven (and often enthusiastic) members of the Freemasons. Considering the great importance of this gesture in Masonic rituals and the fact that all of the elite were either part of Freemasonry or knew of it, it is simply impossible that the recurrence of this sign could be the result of a coincidence. The “hidden hand” can, in fact, be found in the rituals of the Royal Arch Degree of Freemasonry and the world leaders that use this sign are subtly saying to other initiates of the order: “This is what I’m part of, this is what I believe in and this is what I’m working for”.

The Royal Arch Degree

The Triple Tau

The Royal Arch Degree (the 13th degree of the Scottish Rite or the 7th degree of the York Rite) is also known as the Mason of the Secret. During this Degree, initiates are said to receive great Masonic truths.

“The members of this Degree are denominated companions, and are “entitled to a full explanation of the mysteries of the Order”; whereas in the former Degrees they are recognized by the common, familiar appellation of brothers, and kept in a state of profound ignorance of the sublime secret which is disclosed in this Chapter. This accords with the custom of Pythagoras, who thus distinguished his pupils. After a probation of five years, as stated before, they were admitted into the presence of the preceptor, called his companions, and permitted to converse with him freely. Previous to the expiration of that term he delivered his instructions to them from behind a screen”-John Fellows, Fellows’s Inquiry into the Origin, History, and Purport of Freemasonry

“If we pass on to the Royal Arch, we receive a wonderful accession of knowledge, and find every thing made perfect; for this is the nec plus ultra of Masonry, and can never be exceeded by any human institution.”-George Oliver, Lectures on Freemasonry

It is during this degree that the initiate learns the sacred name of God.

“A Degree indescribably more august, sublime, and important than any which precede it, and is, in fact, the summit and perfection of ancient Masonry. It impresses upon our minds a belief in the being of a God, without beginning of days or end of years, the great and incomprehensible Alpha and Omega, and reminds us of the reverence which is due to His Holy NAME.”-George Oliver, Historical Landmarks

This holy name is Jahbulon, a combination of words meaning “god” in Syriac, Chaldaic and Egyptian.

“JEHOVAH. Of the varieties of this sacred name in use among the different nations of the earth, three particularly merit the attention of Royal Arch Masons:1. JAH. This name of God is found in the 68th Psalm, v. 4.2. BAAL OR BEL. This word signifies a lord, master, or possessor, and hence it was applied by many of the nations of the East to denote the Lord of all things, and the Master of the world.3. ON. This was the name by which JEHOVAH was worshiped among the Egyptians.”-Malcolm C. Duncan, Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor

The initiation ritual to this degree re-enacts the return to Jerusalem of three Most Excellent Masons who were held captive in Babylon. I won’t go through the whole ceremony and symbolism but at one point, the initiate is asked to learn a secret password and a hand sign in order to go through a series of veils. The following image depicts the hand sign required to go through the second veil, as documented in Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor:

“Master of Second Veil: “Three Most Excellent Masters you must have been, or thus far you could not have come; but farther you cannot go without my words, sign, and word of exhortation. My words are Shem, Japhet, and Adoniram; my sign is this: (thrusting his hand in his bosom); it is in imitation of one given by God to Moses, when He commanded him to thrust his hand into his bosom, and, taking it out, it became as leprous as snow. My word of exhortation is explanatory of this sign, and is found in the writings of Moses, viz., fourth chapter of Exodus”:“And the Lord said unto Moses, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow”-Malcolm C. Duncan, Duncan’s Masonic Ritual and Monitor

As stated above, this hand gesture is said to be inspired by Exodus 4:6. In this biblical verse, the heart (“bosom”) stands for what we are, the hand for what we do. It can thus be interpreted as : What we are is what we ultimately do. The symbolic significance of this gesture might explain the reason why it is so widely used by famous Masons. The hidden hand lets the other initiates know that the individual depicted is part of this secret Brotherhood and that his actions were inspired by the Masonic philosophy and beliefs. Furthermore, the hand that executes the actions is hidden behind cloth, which can symbolically refer to covert nature of the Mason’s actions. Here are some of the famous men who used this hand signal.

Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon, a known Mason in his study at the Tuileries, 1812

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) was a military and political leader of France whose actions shaped European politics in the early 19th century. He was initiated into Army Philadelphe Lodge in 1798. His brothers, Joseph, Lucian, Louis and Jerome, were also Freemasons. Five of the six members of Napoleon’s Grand Councel of the Empire were Freemasons, as were six of the nine Imperial Officers and 22 of the 30
Marshals of France. Bonaparte’s association with Masonry has always
been played down in historical records. Masonic researcher J.E.S.
Tuckett addresses the situation:

“It is strange that evidence in favor of the Great Napoleon’s membership of the Masonic Brotherhood has never been examined in detail, for the matter is surely one of interest, and – seeing the remarkable part that remarkable men played in the affairs
of Europe, at a time when Continental Freemasonry was struggling out of
chaos into regular order – it cannot be without an important bearing
upon Masonic history”

In his essay on Napoleon and Masonry, Tuckett claims:

“There is incontestable evidence that Napoleon was acquainted with the nature, aims and organization of Freemasonry: that he approved of and made use of it to further his own ends”-J.E.S. Tuckett, Napoleon I and Freemasonry (source)

Napoleon was also said to be aided by occult powers. In 1813 he was defeated at Leipzip and behind him was a “Cabinet of Curiosities” in which a Prussian officer discovered his Book of Fate and Oraculum. Originally this Oraculum was discovered in one of the Royal tombs of Egypt during a French military expedition of 1801. The emperor ordered the manuscript to be translated by a famous German scholar and antiquarian. From that time onward, the Oraculum was one of Napoleon’s most treasured possessions. He consulted it on many occasions and it is said to have “formed a stimulus to his most speculative and most successful enterprises.”

Karl Marx

Karl Marx is known today to be the founder of modern Communism. Despite being denied by some Masons, Marx is said to have been a 32nd degree Grand Orient Freemason. Marx became the spokesman of the atheist and socialist movement of Europe. He planned the replacement of monarchies with socialist republics, with the next step conversion to communist republics.

George Washington

George Washington was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and is considered to be the “most important American Mason”. Charles Willson Pealed produced this painting when Washington was 52 years old. Notice the position of Washington’s feet: they form an oblong square. The position of the feet are of utmost importance in Masonic symbolism. Compare this with this excerpt from Duncan’s Ritual Monitor:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is considered to be one of the most prolific and influential composers of music ever. He also was a Freemason and was initiated in the Austrian lodge Zur Zur Wohltatigkeit on Dec. 14th 1784. Mozart’s creations often incorporated important Masonic elements. The Magic Flute opera was mainly based on Masonic principles.“The music of the Freemasons contained musical phrases and forms that held specific semiotic meanings. For example, the Masonic initiation ceremony began with the candidate knocking three times at the door to ask admittance. This is expressed musically as a dotted figure: meanings. For example, the

This figure appears in Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute in the overture, suggesting the opening of the Masonic initiation.”- Katherine Thompson, The Masonic Thread in MozartThe musical progression of The Magic Flute was based on the Golden Ratio (1,6180…), the proportion of everything that is considered divine by Mystery Schools.Here are compositions created by Mozart for use in Masonic lodges:

Lied (song) “Gesellenreise, for use at installation of new journeymen”

Marquis de Lafayette

Marquis de Lafayette was a 33rd degree Freemason. According to Willam R. Denslow’s 10,000 Famous Freemasons, Lafayette was a French military officer who was a general in the American Revolutionary War and a leader of the Garde Nationale during the bloody French Revolution. Lafayette was also made an honorary Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of New York. More than 75 Masonic bodies in the U.S. have been named after him, including 39 lodges, 18 chapters, 4 councils, 4 commanderies, and 7 Scottish rite bodies.

Salomon Rothschild

Salomon Rothschild was the founder of the Viennese branch of the prominent Mayer Amschel Rothschild family. The most powerful family in the world has greatly influenced the policies of Germany, France, Italy and Austria. The Rothschilds are also the main players behind the creation of Zionism and the state of Israel.The power of the Rothschilds went way beyond the confines of the Masonic lodge. They are said to be part of the 13 “Illuminati Bloodlines”. An analysis of the recently built Supreme Court of Israel (see article here) confirms the Rothschild’s embrace of Masonic symbolism.

Simon Bolivar

Known as “El Libertador” (the Liberator), Bolivar is considered to be the “George Washington of South America”. He joined Freemasonry in Cadiz, Spain, received the Scottish Rite degrees in Paris and was knighted in a Commandery of Knights Templar in France in 1807. Bolivar founded and served as master of Protectora de las Vertudes Lodge No. 1 in Venezuela. The country of Bolivia is named after him. Bolivar also served as the president of Colombia, Peru and Bolivia in the 1820′s. He belonged to the Order and Liberty Lodge No. 2 in Peru.Notice in the image above the position of his feet (oblong square) and the checkerboard pattern of the floor, also Masonic. His stance might have been inspired by the Knights of Christian Mark Degree as depicted below in Richardson’s Monitor of Freemasonry:

Joseph Stalin

Stalin’s reign of terror in the Soviet Union lead to the deaths of millions of his own countrymen. He is often shown in pictures using the hidden hand gesture.
No official records have been found that prove Stalin’s initiation into
Masonry. Of course, dictators such as Stalin tightly controlled all
information concerning themselves and their affairs, making it difficult to prove anything one way or the other. The hiding of his hand, however, provides an initiate’s clue to his possible allegiance to an occult brotherhood.

After being shot in 1940, the young man on the right has been
edited out by Stalin’s people.

In Conclusion

As seen above, thee leaders using the “hidden hand” gesture had a great influence on world history and many were confirmed Masons. This gesture is an obvious yet widely overlooked detail which hints at the leader’s embrace of occult philosophy. By understanding this fact and by recognizing the IMMENSE influence these leaders had on the course of History, we can begin to realize the hidden force which is currently steering the world toward international democracy.Members of these brotherhoods might have maintained different opinions and even adhered to different factions (communism vs. capitalism), but the fundamental philosophy, beliefs and ultimate goals are still the same: the coming of an “Age of Reason and Enlightenment”. Of course, any serious researcher is already aware of the role of Masonry in the unfolding of world history. The “hidden hand” gesture, so often used by historical figures is simply the outward expression of this little known fact. As Confucius said, “Signs and symbols rule the world, not words nor laws.” These people’s words and policies will eventually be twisted and forgotten, but their image will remain for the ages.

Pope Francis released his first encyclical on
Tuesday. In addition to restating opposition by the Catholic Church to
abortion, the new Pope criticized free market capitalism and advocated
wealth redistribution.He said “some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which
assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will
inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness
in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts,
expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding
economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic
system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting.”So-called “trickle down” is not an economic theory. It is a
pejorative term used by socialists and others in favor of wealth
distribution to describe laissez-faire capitalism. A product of the
Enlightenment, laissez-faire capitalism was “conceived as the way to
unleash human potential through the restoration of a natural system, a
system unhindered by the restrictions of government,” writes Toufic Gaspard. For political economist Adam Smith and other classical economists, the concept was inextricably connected to natural rights.Laissez faire recognizes the individual is the central unit of
society endowed with a natural right to liberty, including the right to
economic activity between consenting individuals so long as this
activity does not impede the rights of others. In his book The Theory of Moral Sentiments,
Smith used the metaphor of an “invisible hand” to describe unintended
effects of individuals involved in economic organization and
self-interest.Although laissez-faire capitalism flourished in the United States, it
was undermined early on by proponents of the American School and
Alexander Hamilton, who proposed direct control of the economy by a
central bank and tariffs that favored the industrial North over the
agricultural South (eventually resulting in the so-called Civil War).Carl E. Prince and Seth Taylor write that by the early 19th century
“it is quite clear that the laissez faire label is an inappropriate one”
to describe the increasingly close relationship between large
corporations and the United States government. Instead of unhindered
free trade, the Whig tradition of economic nationalism reigned as the
government regulated and controlled the expansion of national
infrastructure, particularly the railroads. The first federal income tax
was imposed at this time to pay for the Lincoln’s war against the
South. In the period following the war, government diminished
laissez-faire capitalism by accelerating a mixed economy and enacted
various laws, including the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and the
Sherman Anti-trust Act. Socialist doctrines, under the rubric of
Keynesian economics, dominated economic policy following the Federal
Reserve engineered Great Depression.Until recently and despite the unrelenting attack on laissez-faire
economics the American economy reigned as an undisputed engine of
prosperity. The political attacks of Pope Francis and other socialists
are the latest effort to undermine free market capitalism and replace it
with a socialist system that has demonstrated repeatedly it is
incapable of creating the sort of prosperity society requires to
prosper.Natural law and a natural system of liberty is now under concerted
attack. Criticism of “the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic
system,” as Pope Francis defined free trade and the natural law of
laissez-faire capitalism, is highly misleading.In fact, the United States has never enjoyed pure laissez-faire
capitalism, but has suffered under varying degrees of crony capitalism,
more accurately described as corporatism — or as Benito Mussolini termed
it, fascism. In the recent past, the destructiveness of self-serving
business and government relationships and state-run monetary policy
directed in the shadows by a globalist financial elite were mitigated by
the engine of prosperity. However, we have now entered a dangerous
period as the global elite and corporations work in concert to erode the
fiscal and moral underpinnings of the economy. The country now teeters
on the verge of financial and social ruin.As a tutored Jesuit and Argentine, Pope Francis is a student of the
Jesuit Reductions, the Catholic program of the 17th and 18th centuries
to Christianize, tax and govern the people of Spain, Argentina, Brazil,
Bolivia and America. In Paraguay under the Jesuits, according to the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia, the “economic basis was a sort of communism” ruled over by the caciques, or tribal leaders, at the behest and guidance of the Padres.“The Jesuits aimed to set up [in Paraguay] a completely communistic
system, in the sense that no individual rights were recognized and there
was no private property,” writes John Findlater in The Revolutionary Movement: A Diagnosis of World Disorders.
“Everything belonged to the State, and was supposed to be shared in
common. But in reality much the greater part of the proceeds of good
sold was always remitted to the Camarilla [advisers to the Spanish
kings]; and the Guaranis [Indians of Paraguay, northern Argentina, and
southern Brazil] got only the bare necessities of life in return for
their toil and sweat.”In modern times, the well-honed process of confiscation and
accumulation by the state is far more sophisticated, but the end result
is almost identical — in the wake of looting by multinationals and
globalist organizations such as the IMF and World Bank, millions of
people are locked in poverty while a distinct minority revel in untold
riches. Pope Francis and the Catholic Church blame free trade
capitalists for this state of affairs, not the state and its system of
crony capitalism in the service of a parasitical corporate and
transnational elite.Pope Francis is playing to so-called progressives in America and
Europe who believe wealth must be redistributed, in short confiscated
from the producers at gunpoint and distributed to politically useful
non-producers by government. In reality, the mega-wealthy, the financial
elite on Wall Street and the City of London, never pay their “fair
share” and are, in fact, the main driving force behind socialist
confiscation schemes. Breadcrumbs are handed out to the poor and
destitute under a bloated and bureaucratic system while the lion’s share
is spirited away under a cover of darkness to a small minority.
